stupidgead oops.

Stupidhead · 18/11/2013 07:37

Well he came over and basically wants me back. I thought he was after his record collection -that's how dopey I am at reading signals!

So anyway, this has solved the problem of trying to find a beautiful man online :) if it's any consolation I met him on okc 3 years ago so it can happen!!!

I've spent the morning deleting/blocking and having to send awkward texts to my harem of men...that was fun :-/

If you don't mind I'll pop into this thread and offer my rubbish words of wisdom when needed!

Oh and we got absolutely arseholed on pink wine and had very drunken sex, oops.

stupid Grin

Hormonalhell · 18/11/2013 08:16

Good luck Stupidhead, hope it works out for you Smile

Poffedoff · 18/11/2013 08:30

Aww that's great news Stupidhead, I presume he has reassured you that it's for keeps this time... Good luck and please do keep in touch ??

Lahti · 18/11/2013 08:38

stupidhead excellent news.

Another question- do most guys start asking about sex when messaging you? nothing Pervy, no pics etc just asking your opinion of it within a relationship? After being offered the chance of an affair with a married man yesterday and being asked if can dominate someone the day before this guys questions are obviously tame in comparison, but I just want to check.

JustALittleGreen · 18/11/2013 08:53

Lahti I wouldnt be happy if sex was mentioned so soon.

I also broke my own rules and messaged two guys both of whom have read the message, checked my profile but not replied. Erk. Their loss, eh

stupidhead best of luck with it all :)

brokenhearted that sounds promising!

Poffedoff · 18/11/2013 09:11

Lahti , unless you're looking for a one nighter I would advise steering clear of anyone who asks about sex so early...
I once messaged a guy on pof, I'd no pic on my profile yet so he had no idea what I looked like but was willing to send one to anyone I liked after chatting a bit...
Me: hi, blah blah blah
Him: what are you doing tonight?
No joke..
Lots of blokes on there looking for sex and sex alone, you'll soon know how to weed them out! Grin

powpow80 · 18/11/2013 09:41

Lahti I'd agree with Poffed and Just. No need to be discussing sec on pof unless ons or fwb is what you want. If you are looking to date I would keep the conversation pg. No need for someone to know your bedroom like and dislikes. Personally if someone is asking me about stuff like that prior to even meeting them I lose interest. As poffed said there are a lot of people who OD that are just looking for sex.

Oh broken, I met him on okc, we were about 60 miles apart so not too far. We had a date and then I'd spend a weekend at his or vice versa when we could. Happy days! He was desperate for us to live together so after 2 years I upped sticks and moved with the children. After a year (this summer) he decided he couldn't do 'this' anymore. It wasn't me it was the responsibility and everything else, he had stress at work and his past too. So we split and he moved out. No going back ever, he's stubborn and never changes his mind.

But he did :)

Well I hope he treats you right this time Stupidhead. Lay the ground rules down. We are the prize Smile

Lahti · 18/11/2013 16:57

Well I blocked the new guy- is it ever acceptable to tell anyone that they are well hung?!?!?
Oh and okc has sent me some matches 1 of which is a bisexual who has auditioned for The Voice. EXCELLENT.

Poffedoff · 18/11/2013 17:23

Grin Lahti... I was on okc a while back and found the higher the percentage the worse they were.. I got matched (95%) with a bi guy too! I know I was quite liberal when answering the questions... Not that liberal though!

ladygoingGaga · 18/11/2013 20:19

stupidhead fab news! think getting arseholed on wine and having drunken sex was probably the best way Grin

Proves that you just never know what's round the corner Smile

Hormonalhell · 18/11/2013 20:22

Howz things going with you Gaga?

JustALittleGreen · 18/11/2013 20:36

Eeee someone messaged me back! We're talking about jam (I know, I know, I'm a fox!) and he said I was pretty Grin

melanie58 · 18/11/2013 20:48

Stupidhead, I mean this nicely - please be careful as this man could mess you around again. Sorry Gaga but no, getting arseholed on wine and having drunken sex is probably not the best way to get back together. To my middle-aged and jaded-by-experience mind this doesn't look as if it will have a long-term happy ending. I hope it will go well for you but please look after yourself.

superdooperpenguin · 18/11/2013 20:55

Woo hoo Green - random chat is always fun! And of course, you're pretty - you are the prize afterall!

Gaga - I'm worrying for you and keeping everything crossed he's not a secret fuckit.

Lahiti - I've never had any success with OKC, all seem to be after an affair with me! I would steer clear of anyone asking me about sex so early on...

Stupid - I hope he behaves this time and am very jealous of your drunken, rampant sex!

Feeling a bit smug this eve...both guys I'm talking to on POF have double texted, feels good to be chased! Frustrating though that not giving a shit seems to be the only way that men are interested in me!!

ladygoingGaga · 18/11/2013 20:57

melanie I tend to disagree, from what OP said they know each other well, it didn't end on bad terms, the timing wasn't right then, so it might be now.

hormonal I'm okay thank you few texts this evening, but just how's work type stuff. I'm not sure my heart is in it, I am staying firmly grounded with him. Seeing him one evening a week suits me for now.
plus I don't have balls to confront him

I have a big interview Wednesday which I'm seriously bricking it over, and utterly stressed, keep shouting at my DS for no reason Blush so he is taking a back seat in my thoughts

ladygoingGaga · 18/11/2013 20:59

super yeah to the double texting Grin. I'm hoping he isn't either
